The Outside Festival is back.

　　A year after the inaugural gathering brought some 18,000 people together for a rousing weekend of music and joy in the outdoors, the Outside Festival with presenting sponsors Capital One and REI Co-op will return to downtown Denver’s Civic Center Park, May 31-June 1, 2025. The just-announced lineup of musical headliners includes Khruangbin, Lord Huron, Sylvan Esso, Trampled by Turtles, Neal Francis, Waxahatchee, Husbands, and Hazlett.

　　The two-day event will also feature conversations with iconic athletes, renowned storytellers, and inspiring changemakers, plus an adventure films series and a diverse mix of outdoor experiences.

　　The Outside Summit, a precursor to the Festival and the outdoor industry’s premier networking event, which was attended by over 500 influential leaders in its first year, will return on Thursday, May 29. The Summit includes a full day of programming on Friday, May 30, plus exclusive gatherings during the Festival weekend.

　　The 2024 Outside Festival and Summit was hailed as a massive success that created a new model for a national outdoor community gathering. Building off that momentum, organizers have expanded the Festival grounds to include Lincoln Veterans Memorial Park in order to accommodate an anticipated 25,000-plus attendees. Activities include climbing experiences, yoga classes, skills workshops, gear demos, a kids’ zone, exciting food options, and a variety of immersive brand engagements. Films and talks will take place at spaces inside the Denver Art Museum and the newly renovated Denver Public Library.
